Read the senerio and answer the following questions You are the Project Manager for a research and development team at Acme Corporation. Acme is known mostly for its rocket engines and helicopter designs. Your team has successfully developed several inventions for Acme and is largely responsible for making Acme the world leader in this field. One day, while you were all watching cartoons on the television in the lunchroom, a member of your team (you dont remember who) suddenly had an ideabackpack-sized rocket engines and helicopters that an individual person could wear. For a long time now your team has felt that it was not adequately compensated by Acme for its last inventionthe rocket powered hang glider. Acme made millions of dollars by marketing that invention to college students under the name Extreme Flight. It was your team that came up with that name, as well as designed how the device would work and even drafted the home assembly manual. Yet they only received their paltry salary as a reward. This time, you plan to ensure that you and your team get a bigger share of the credit, as well as the financial reward. You are considering the possibility of developing the rocket-powered backpack and then going into business for yourself. But before you do, you must consider the following issues: Question Question 2: Is your idea Patentable? Question 3: What steps might your employer take (or have already taken) to prevent you from carrying out your plan if they find out about it? Question 4: What’s to stop one of your employees from simply taking your new invention and starting their own company to manufacture the rocket powered hang glider before you do? Is there anything you can do? Question 5: A member of your team suggests that the name Ace Rocketry Inc has a nice ring to it and would make a good name for your new business venture. Should you adopt this name?

Purpose: To identify an issue, cause, action or broader social change that you care about and want to advocate. Requirements: answer a series of questions about an issue, cause, action or broader social change that you want to advocate. This assignment will inform your final advocacy campaign due at the end of the term. The strongest submissions will demonstrate evidence of external research and engagement with course content. Your submission should be between 750 and 1,000 words and use the below questions as sub-headers. a. Ex: As environmentalists, we are concerned about the amount of watercraft pollution in Muskoka. Our activism takes the position that there are too many polluting watercrafts on our lakes and that we need more regulation to curb their effect. b. What are the desired outcomes from your activism? Ex: We advocate for laws that ban watercraft engines that spill oil into the lakes. We advocate for subsidies for low emission boat motors. We advocate for a banning of motor boats on lakes that are unhealthy until their ecosystems are revitalized and their wildlife populations once again thrives. c. What is the background of this issue? Do some research to show that you have enough information to initiate change. Ex: We know that there are X lakes in the Muskoka region, XX% of which are suffering from watercraft pollution affecting their wildlife and ecosystems. Activists have been sounding the alarm for 10 years, but rather than act to regulate, local, provincial, and federal governments have only deregulated pollution standards, therefore making it easier to pollute. We also know that XX% of the motor boats on Muskoka lakes are spilling oil at an unacceptable rate. d. Who are the key players that can affect change? Ex: Navigable waters are a federal responsibility. Key players include federal MPs who are responsible for passing legislation and the minister of natural resources. The Muskoka Boating Association would also be a key player given their interest. The Muskoka Lakes Wildlife Preservation Association because e. What hurdles will you need to overcome? Ex: Passing these regulations may be challenging. Boat owners in Muskoka are an active voting block who may resist change. The minister of the environment is focused on climate change and she has not spoken about waterway pollution since taking office. f. How do you define activism? Ex: For us, we rely on [insert name]s definition of activism to mean x, y,z. We believe that this definition is useful because

Write a 2 page paper on the difference between confrontational negotiations and cooperative negotiations.
Choose ONE question from below. Answer the question in about 1000 words (equivalent to 3-4 typed, double-spaced pages, 12 font, one inch margins). Clearly identify which question you answer, and address more than one place in the Americas in your answer. Strong essays will draw on multiple course readings, presentations, and film, and will have a thesis statement introducing your argument, a body in which you make your argument using specific examples from readings, and a conclusion that draws the various parts of your discussion together. Clarity of writing, correct grammar usage and spelling, and attention to the question prompt will be part of the grade. Proofread carefully. I highly recommend going through a full edit/revision before submitting your essay. Refer to the rubric to see the weight of different aspects for the grade. Only use course readings and assigned films, and class notes. Do not worry about bibliographic citations or page numbers for information that you are using in your synthesis, unless you use a direct quotation, in which you should give the author and page number. If you do use quotations, from primary sources for example, DO NOT use more than 6 consecutive words. The purpose of these essays is to explicate in your own words an analytic synthesis of relevant information in course materials. There is no single correct answer to these questions. You can craft an argument that concentrates on a particular aspect or sub-question of a question, but be sure to deal in some way with each part of the question you are answering. Consider to what extent Independence represented a watershed (i.e. a turning point) in the Americas. Include political, economic, and cultural aspects in your assessment. To what extent does this question depend on who one was and what group(s) one belonged to? What impact did the Enlightenment have on the transition of colonies to liberal nations in the Americas? What were key political, economic, and social aspects of Liberalism? What was the relationship of different people (workers, owners, elites, small business people, poor, men, women, whites, people of mixed descent, indigenous, African, urban, rural, etc.) to liberal intellectuals and politicians, ideas and policies, constitutions and laws? What were the limits of Liberalism as it played out to the end of the nineteenth century? How do the histories of the United States of America and Latin American/Caribbean nations compare from the colonial period through the nineteenth century? What commonalities do they share? Where do their histories diverge? What key moments, events, and/or ideas have shaped the relationship of the United States to the rest of the Americas in the nineteenth century, and how have they done so?
